Office Ergonomics

EHS can provide a basic ergonomic assessment of your computer workstation and make recommendations for adjustments to ensure the best set up for each individual employee.

Services Available

Request an ergonomic assessment (pick Service Call) of your computer workstation.

Any on-campus (downtown or Macdonald campus) McGill employee or student working at a computer can request an in-person assessment. EHS will evaluate your work station and recommend changes to positioning or new furniture when necessary. Any purchase of new furniture will be the responsibility of the unit. 

When necessary a referral to a certified Ergonomist can be provided, note that charges for this will be the responsibility of the unit.

The PDF icon Self Assessment Checklist is a tool to help ensure that your workstation is set up properly and comfortable for you. It is a good idea to review the self assessment periodically.

EHS does not provide recommendations for sit-stand workstations or similar specialized ergonomic equipment.
